        Hi Anya!

        I’m not completely sure but I’ve got a few ideas. Really I’d like to do a big science festival, for everyone to come along to. Unfortunately big science festivals are not cheap so it would probably have to be just for the school (but you never know! I will certainly try).

        If I could do it completely my way then I’d get as many volunteers as I could from my training centre, and we’d bring all the activities and stands we’ve made with us. I’d also try and get local science companies and colleges involved, get them to bring a stand or a demonstration with them.

        The main aim of the festival would just be all about learning something new and importantly just having some fun with science! There’s an awful lot more to science that what you learn in the classroom and it’s that these sort of events that you really get to see just what scientists get up to.
